Business Research: Methods and Strategy
This book has been developed
to satisfy a niche within the market research community. Summaries of varied
market research techniques cover surveys, focus groups, interviews, case
studies, feasibility studies, and the often overlooked function of competitor
profiling (competitive intelligence). These summaries provide librarians
with a business perspective for the research context while providing business
managers insight into the research framework.The
companion CD for this new book will allow you to electronically review this text
and use the books’ forms – such as the business plan - on your PC. Thus, you can
keep the print book as a reference guide and electronically distribute the
completed forms as presentations to your staff.

Competitive
Intelligence Workbook
One of the perennial
challenges in intelligence work is how to collect, organize and manage data. Our
Competitive Intelligence Workbook provides an easy-to-follow overview of the
process. For those considering the use of competitive intelligence for their
business, it serves as an excellent introduction and guide.
It is also an great tool for experienced intelligence
professionals looking for standardized, easy-to-use forms. Manager reports,
charts, data organization forms, "intelligence memos", bibliography documents,
and many others, are all made available. Customize your reports and tailor your
presentations - it's never been easier!
The Competitive Intelligence Workbook satisfies a unique
niche requirement within the competitive intelligence market - a "median"
industry publication that fills the space between narrative, how-to intelligence
textbooks and high-end technical computer software.

And for something completely
different...
Email Jokes: A Snapshot
Anthology of the Internet
*Now for the Lighter
Side........*
All work and no play?
Well.....yes and no. We at
Burkhardt Research Services are
"all work" during business
hours. Our business publications
are a testament to the work we
do. At the same time, we
recognize that people "play"
during their off hours. An
occasional laugh can even be
squeezed in at work - over the
water cooler, at company
parties, during the holidays,
etc.
This book, "E-Mail Jokes: A
Snapshot Anthology of the
Internet," is a testament to
that lighter side of life that
we call "play." In fact, this
book could serve as an
office-appropriate gift for all
occasions - holidays, birthdays,
personal milestones, and
retirements.
This pocketbook, intended to
serve as light coffee table
conversation for naval gazers,
offers a passing glimpse at the
emerging historical confluence
of society and the internet. It
is also intended to be a
humorous keepsake for those of
us who experienced the
internet’s revolutionary
contribution to how we
communicate. The focus of this
“coffee table pocketbook” is the
approximate time period of 1996
– 2006. The introductory portion
of the book provides a launch
pad for group discussions about
how society transitioned into
e-mail usage as an every day
means of communication. The
balance of the book provides
selected “keepsake jokes” that
will help us reflect – in later
years – upon this period of our
social e-history.
This book provides readers a
chance to laugh all over again
at the jokes that had us
chuckling the first time around.
Great gift for birthdays,
holidays, you name it! Printed
in North America.

U.S. ELECTIONS: THE
ABROAD VOTE
There are between six and ten million Americans living
abroad. Given that only 17 states have populations of at
least six million people (U.S. Census population
estimates for 2010), the votes of Americans living
abroad are significant. How campaigns look at – and work
with – this group of voters involves taking the time to
understand the abroad vote. This white paper provides an
analysis of the abroad vote.

A
Descriptive Comparison of
Corrections in the U.S. and
Canada
How do levels of crime and
incarceration compare between
the U.S. and Canada? How do
these two countries manage
behaviors defined as unsafe or
hazardous deviations from the
accepted social order? What are
the defining characteristics of
the correctional systems in each
country? What community-based
organizations are involved in
the correctional system and in
what ways? What types of
corrections-related reference
sources are available in Canada
and the U.S.? This white paper
provides a comparative review of
these topics.

A
Community Look at Correctional
Sentencing and Outcomes in the
U.S. Are we on the right track?
It is widely recognized that the
U.S. incarcerates a higher
percentage of its population
than any other country on earth.
Is there any good coming from
what Fordham University’s Dr.
James A. Wilson calls this “U.S.
social experiment in mass
incarceration?" How do
contextual considerations
reflect on this question? What
should be happening in regards
to - or in response to - this
state of mass incarceration?
Analyst Kim Burkhardt provides
an overview of these topics and
raises both considerations and
action items for the community.

SUCCESSFUL MARKETING: GETTING PERSONAL ABOUT
PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS
Where do you want to be professionally in five, ten, or
fifteen years? How do you want your biography of
professional success to read when you retire? Have you
ever believed that professional success is strictly a
matter of learning and improving upon the job tasks or
skills needed to do a chosen job and trying hard? Simply
having the professional skills to land a new job or new
promotion isn’t enough to advance professionally. This
white paper takes several common marketing principles
and applies them to the personal task of professional
self-promotion and career enhancement. You too can
become comfortable – and successful - assuming the role
of marketing on your own behalf.
